The Joint Annual Meeting of the EUROfusion (European Consortium for the Development of Fusion Energy) Work Packages on Plasma-Facing Components (PFC and JET2) will take place at Jožef Stefan Institute from 20.11. to 23.11.2017. During the meeting sub-project leaders...

EUROfusion Project “Code Development for Integrated Modelling (WP-CD)” “Code Camp” is organised at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME), from the 4th to the 15th September, 2017. At the Code Camp WP-CD members contribute to developments...

Can you believe they are trying to build a Sun on Earth? – Director Mila Aung-Thwin was amazed when he first heard about ITER. He immediately felt the need to tell the story of the fusion quest and began to work on a documentary. Four years and four visits to the ITER...

Specific tasks have been defined under the EUROfusion Work Package on Plasma Facing Components (WP PFC) for which the usage of linear facilities able to handle beryllium, such as PISCES-B, is necessary. For the 2017-2018 EU-US collaboration in the PISCES-B Facility...

The subject of the project titled “Upgrade of laboratory experimental system to study interaction of H or D atoms with liquid Sn or Sn/Li” is in the Liquid metals as PFCs section, and is focused on Sn and Sn/Li characterization. Experiments with liquid metal plasma...

Tungsten or advanced tungsten alloys are considered to be the most suitable material for plasma-facing components in future fusion reactors such as DEMO. In these nuclear devices tritium retention in neutron-damaged tungsten will become a more significant issue. In...
